Editing Roundabout (section)

=== Through roundabout ===
{{anchor|Hamburger roundabout}}
Also known as a hamburger roundabout, these junctions are [[traffic light|signalised]] and have a straight-through section of carriageway for one of the major routes. The ''hamburger'' name derives from the fact that the [[plan view]] resembles the cross-section through a [[hamburger]]. The United Kingdom has examples on the [[A580 road|A580 East Lancashire Road]] in [[St Helens, Merseyside|St Helens]], on [[Haydock|Haydock Island]] in Merseyside<ref>{{google maps|url=http://local.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=53.470883,-2.63556&spn=0.005965,0.020127&om=1|title=Haydock Island in Merseyside}}</ref> (which also features the M6 passing overhead), and on the Astley/Boothstown border.<ref>{{google maps|url=http://local.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&om=1&ll=53.505086,-2.431648&spn=0.00596,0.020127 Astley/Boothstown border}}</ref> More examples are the [[A6003 road|A6003]] at [[Kettering]], the [[A538 road|A538]] near [[Manchester Airport]], the "Showcase" junction on A329 at Winnersh, Berkshire<ref>{{google maps|url=https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4362134,-0.8977845,267m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en |title=Winnersh, Berkshire}}</ref> and the A63/A1079 Mytongate junction in Hull.

==== Only bicycle-pedestrian roundabouts ====
The same features that make roundabouts attractive for roadway junctions led to their use at junctions of multi-use trails.

A roundabout along the [[Clear Creek Trail (Indiana)|Clear Creek Trail]] in [[Bloomington, Indiana]], connects the main [[trail]] to its [[Trail#Linear|spur]].

Roundabouts are used on off-road bicycle trails in [[Florida]], [[Colorado]], [[Alaska]], and [[Wisconsin]].<ref>Shaw, Jeffrey and Moler, Steve, [http://www.tfhrc.gov/pubrds/09janfeb/01.htm Bicyclist- and Pedestrian-Only Roundabouts, Public Roads magazine, January/February 2009] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090510100804/http://www.tfhrc.gov/pubrds/09janfeb/01.htm |date=10 May 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tfhrc.gov/safety/00068.htm|title=Federal Highway Administration Research and Technology-- – Federal Highway Administration|access-date=5 September 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060923055232/http://www.tfhrc.gov/safety/00068.htm|archive-date=23 September 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://host.madison.com/ct/news/local/photos-bicycle-roundabout-sits-at-intersection-of-bike-paths/collection_0ae6d40a-3916-11e4-8e0d-0019bb2963f4.html|title=Bicycle roundabout sits at intersection of 3 bike paths|work=The Capital Times}}</ref>

An elevated roundabout is located in [[Eindhoven]], serving pedestrian and bicycle traffic only, above the main conventional roadway intersection. It is known as the [[Hovenring]].
